My figures exclude shared memory and are calculated as VmRss - Shared from /proc/<pid>/statm.
If you are using Windows 10, your missing Atom processes will be under Background Processes in Task Manager. For the sake of the argument, I just did a fresh install of Atom and this is what I see on the first run: https://i.imgur.com/0ZRSumF.png. ~220MiB (no files open, zero extensions).

That's really interesting! I have an up-to-date atom install that i've been adding plugins to for about a year now (up to like 50 or so), and has been running for at least 12 hours (windows 10), and currently has 7 ~500 line files open.
Adding up all the processes' (7 of them) private memory gets me 194mb.

I installed the 64-bit version, you might be using 32-bit.
Might just be an accounting difference. Forked process applications in particular are very difficult to account, because even their private/RSS may be COW from another process.
